The Mortal Body is a summer study into the places we avoid: grief, death, stillness, and what happens inside a body when it lets go.
This course blends nervous system science, anatomical truth, and the deep mystery of yogic rest.

​

We don’t talk about death nearly enough — especially in yoga spaces. Ironic, since the final posture of a practice is typically savasana, or "corpse pose".
But Savasana isn't just a nap. It’s a ritual of release. A rehearsal for surrender. A mirror for life.

After 20+ years in forensic medicine, standing in the quiet company of the recently passed, I’ve learned that death isn’t the opposite of life. It’s part of it.
And strangely enough, building a relationship with death doesn’t lead to fear.

It leads to clarity, gratitude, and deep, grounded empowerment.

​

The Mortal Body invites you to approach death not with dread, but with curiosity, and to reframe your body’s endings as part of its wisdom.

What Makes this Course Different:
Most courses on death tiptoe around the edges. This one walks straight in.
I’ve worked with the human body after life leaves it. That lens — forensic, clinical, and deeply human — is what makes this offering different.

You’ll get Ritual, Meaning, and the Perspective that only comes from standing in the presence of death... again and again.
